Doom is a JRPG
1. a simplified highly derived form of ultima and wizardry
2. damage calculations and enemy behaviours are all determined by dice rolls
3. a straightforward power progression structure over complex character building

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

-Positioning is very important
-Enemies hold weapons in their right hands so the way to avoid a lot of their attacks is by going forward and to the right

While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.
Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

I wish we still lived in the era where people enjoyed quirky, retro games with lots of charm and beautiful pixel art. Really subtle skilfully crafted pixel art. Because then Dandy Dungeon would be a substantial hit like Undertale. I’m LTTP but this is delightful stuff.

Mort de Tatsuya Nakadai, immense acteur du cinéma Japonais ! Il aura eu une filmographie sublime : Hara-Kiri, Kagemusha, Ran, Goyokin, Yojinbo, Sanjuro, La Condition de L’homme, Le Sabre du Mal, Rébellion, Après La Pluie. Un monstre équivalent à Toshiro Mifune et Takashi Shimura. RIP

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting

Fighting games are kinda an asterisk here where that perception has changed with the blow up of “mainstream” popularity that genre has received post-DBFZ, but theres definitely subtleties there that a lot of people deeper in the genre than me can and will be able to talk about better than I

Beat em ups, character action games, musou, fighting games, shmups, all these (largely japanese-developer-led) genres that largely dont receive major published reviews from people who at least *know* their histories or are willing to engage with them in good faith

It is genuinely less an issue of being mad about someone who doesnt like musou reviewing the new hyrule warriors and more that its part of a pattern of entire genres with extensive decades-long histories always receiving the same surface level critique from american reviewers
